I know HN is not the place for this (because Microsoft), but I really like C#.

The ecosystem has been MIT since 2016, and the last few releases have been solidifying the AOT proposition.

It just has so many features that allow it to compete with C/C++ on the low level, but it also provides exceptional high level niceties (which admittedly can be slow, some LINQ for example).

I know it's not fashionable, especially in a Linux-centric world, but I have used it extensively for many years (on essentially every platform), and it's lightweight (in most instances) and has the features and tooling to make development less stressful.

Every time I use Java, it just feels overwhelming and slow.
